Designing a web API (or Application Programming Interface) that lives on a webserver can be very difficult. There’s a lot to consider when building an API. While we frequently try to simplify the process down to where it feels the same as making a simple library for our own use, this approach really doesn’t get us where we need to be.

White-Label applications offer an additional level of challenges over “normal” application development. Due to some of these constraints, many simple tasks become orders of magnitude harder or can’t even be done at all.
